Carol;
I can't tell you if 1.5mg is too much for a ferret or not, but if the pills are not "creased", have a dividing line down the middle then the distribution of the meds is not necessarily uniform.
So you could end up giving only a trace of melatonin on one dose and almost all 3 mg in the next.

I have been using Natrol Melatonin 1 mg for the ferrets but it is now
discontinued by both Wal-Mart and Walgreens. They now carry the 3 and
even 5 mg. I found it is available at Drugstore .com at an inflated
price to cover the "free" shipping.
Question- If I get the 3 mg and split them in half is the dose of 1.5 mg
too much? It would be iffy to try to split the powdered tablet into 3
parts.
